Budget Way To Get ANY EV Charger Talk To Your Battery.
You don't need to buy the same brands EV chargers and battery systems to have them all talk, if like me you have an adaptive energy deal that chargers your car randomly depending on electric costs and then are fighting to stop your home energy battery from discharging to the grid this video explains how you can truly make your SMART devices smart. Have your EV charger tell your smart home its charging and to stop discharging the battery on deals like octopus intelligent and instead charge the battery during this cheap offpeak energy deal. The uses for this are endless!
